Durham readies for spontaneous-emotion
By SUSAN JENSEN
Staff Writer
If it seems as if nothing much
happens during the summer in the
Triangle area, you haven't heard about
Night Scene on Ninth Street The
street fair, sponsored by the Ninth
Street Area Merchant's Association
and the Durham Parks and Recrea
tion Department, is an adventure that
promises to make Friday, June 2, a
night to remember.
"It's going to be wild. It's going
to be wild in the streets," said Bob
Burtman, the Festival's coordinator.
Music, theater, juggling, mime, danc
ing, food, drink and more will fill
Durham's Ninth Street Friday from
6-11 p.m. WRAL-TV adds to the
festivities by sponsoring the best
costume contest with a $500 prize.
'The event distinguishes itself by
blurring differences between partici
pants and audiences. It's going to be
very colorful," Burtman said.
More than 100 performance art
ists, jugglers, clowns, mimes, odd
balls and dancers will be there to
entertain along with such musicians
as Carter Minor & Rude Mirage,
Michael Kelsh & Barney Pilgrim, The
Void Brothers, Taz Halloween &
Robert Griffin, Pinky Wyoming, Art
Nouveau and The Gin Dickeys.
Street performers will be launch
ing into their acts spontaneously
throughout the course of the event A
more formal stage will be occupied
by some of the area's finest blues,
jazz, country, traditional and gospel
performers.
There will also be a special chil
dren's zone complete with games, a
hayride, moonwalk and The Last
Great Snake Show, performed by
UNC alumnus and novelist (The
Acorn Plan) Tim McLaurin.

Of course, food galore will be
there to tempt taste buds while trin
kets pull at purse strings.
This is the third year for Night
Scene. The fair started when the Ninth
Street merchants decided to have an
event to make people aware of the
area and thank those who had pa
tronized it all along, Burtman said.
'The first year it rained in the af
ternoon, so we cancelled it and called
a rain date," he said. "But it stopped

raining in time for the festival to
start, and on the new date it poured."
Burtman pointed out that the shops
on Ninth Street don't fit into the
norm. "It's unique in that it doesn't
cater to one type of shopper like a
mall does," he said.
There are a wide variety of shops
to tempt the consumer and some will
have booths opens for the fair. The
first two fairs were somewhat suc
cessful but seemed to fall into the
shadow of Chapel Hill's Apple Chill,
Burtman said. He pointed out that
this year's event will be more spon
taneous with an opportunity for per
former and spectator to intermingle.
Burtman also said that this would
provide an opportunity for students
in the area to get a new feel for Dur
ham. According to Burtman everyone
at the fair will get a chance to join in
and nothing will be predictable.
"You'll never know as you go up
and down the street what's going to
happen next," he said.
So if. you're bored with life at
summer school, put on your best
costume (no restriction) and join in
the fun at Night Scene on Ninth Street,
between Main Street and Markham
Avenue in Durham, 6-11 p.m. Fri
day, June 2, rain or shine, and see
what the night will bring.
